Ga-ga over the Glidehouse

I have long been a fan of IKEA (I shopped there as a kid in Denmark before it became popular in the U.S.) Eames and modernist style. I try to mix it with my other love of natural design. Reading more about Michelle Kaufmann's Glidehouse, has married my two loves together. It's nice to see a modern design with green details and a view toward sustainability.

Gulp! Adobe is the big fish now

With Adobe's acquisition of Macromedia, the way I do my job will be changing in the next few years. I'm excited. I used to be a diehard Freehand user until Illustrator got its claws into me. With the merging of the two companies I am hoping for a hybrid of the two. Of course, Photoshop will continue to be king, but I will miss Dreamweaver if Adobe decides to axe it. Flash will become the golden boy and I'm sure Adobe will be using the animation and delivery tool for more than just making little movies, it's just that Macromedia has already done all the work.

Should I buy Adobe stock now?
